The last time we checked on the Cuban National Series standings, La Habana and Villa Clara were leading the Occidental and Oriental leagues, respectively. Nothing has changed on that count, although Ciego de Avila is turning up the heat a bit on Villa Clara.
Havana has a 37-19 record to hold an 8.5-game lead over Pinar del Rio in the Occidental League, thanks in part to the pitching of Yadier Pedroso. Pedroso has a 6-2 record with a Cuban-best 1.37 ERA, including 80 strikeouts in 72.1 innings pitched. Mound mate Yulieski Glez is also 6-2 for Havana with a 3.30 ERA.
While Havana has gotten it done with pitching, 39-18 Ciego de Avila has been using offense to close the gap with 41-16 Villa Clara. Yorelvis Charles is leading Cuban hitters with a .390 batting average. The Cuban leagues are taking a break for the World Baseball Classic.
